Find out what your peers are saying about UiPath, Microsoft, Automation Anywhere and others in Robotic Process Automation (RPA)."We have tried other RPA solutions like UiPath or Automation Anywhere. They are fantastic products but complex, and it's hard to understand everything. It would be best if you had a skilled developer or several. Automate is easy to implement, administer, and use. It's appropriate for us because our cases are simple and easy to automate. We don't need complicated tools with many features; We prefer to get a significant ROI quickly."
"We have found the pricing to be very reasonable."
"The interface is simple, user-friendly, and very intuitive."
"The most valuable features for my client are timing and scheduling."
"It gives us a central place to schedule tasks and run them distributed."
"The most valuable feature is the drag-and-drop interface, which is very Windows-like."
"I actually quite liked the no-coding functionality."
"It's very easy to use. That's a big selling point for it. It has got a drag-and-drop interface, so you can quickly deploy bots."
"The application integration will give you more flexibility when dealing with APIs."
"The interface has a great look and feel, and the functionality is so easy."
"The OAuth feature is the most valuable feature for authentication."
"The interface is really good."
"The workflow for variables could be better. The input and output of task-level variables could be made a little clearer in terms of passing those around from one task to another upon success, etc. Things like that could be a little easier potentially."
"We really need a free development environment for customers. Building and testing automation on production isn't ideal."
"Fortra's Automate is not as reliable as I would like it to be."
"The intelligent automation feature could be improved. It's interesting because it's simple, but the automation quality isn't always good. It's easy to use, but sometimes you need to make a slight improvement to the automation, and that's not so easy."
"I believe we need to test various OCR tools that assist in evaluating, let's say, six different customer resyncs. We analyze their spending patterns and documentations, but current OCR support has limitations, requiring highly standardized documents, which isn't always the case. With a more advanced OCR system, we could improve processes related to credit risk management and legal matters. We're exploring how to integrate Fortra's Automate with our CRM platform, taking cues from instances where Salesforce seamlessly merged with Automate. However, we use a different CRM, Insight for New Enterprise, and we're seeking ways to connect the automation process within our CRM. We aim for the automation to continue smoothly, even in instances where traditional automation methods might face hurdles."
"The solution has a very weak knowledge base."
"They do not encrypt passwords, so this is an issue with HIPAA compliance."
"The vendor is currently working on a solution that allows us to automatically create a process that is based on a document that we receive via email."
"There's no direct way to connect to Amazon APIs from Informatica Cloud."
"The setup is complex."
"The pricing model is problematic."
"There could be a lot more application integration."
